Misleading signs cost your business income »

Tell me what you sell.

February 4, 2019 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Seriously. If you were meeting someone for the first time, or describing your business to a stranger,

Tell me what you sell.

Take a scrap of paper and tell me, in 25 words or less what you sell. Cool. Now add a WIIFM*.

Keeping to that 25 words. Preferably less, a lot less. Can you?

Is it mesmerizing, motivating, and melodic?

If not, keep trying. Then memorize it. You’ll need it. It’ll drive your business, whether spoken, as a slogan or tagline, or as a hashtag. Heck, get a rubber stamp, letter it onto your windows, put it on a T shirt!
